As filed

Compared to last week, Slaughter Cows 5.00 to 7.00 higher, with instances 10.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder Steer and Bull trends not well established due to limited comparable receipts. Feeder Heifers under 500 lbs 2.00 to 7.00 lower, over 500 lbs mostly steady with instances 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Quality fair to fancy. Demand moderate.
